MISSIONARY LIFE

Understanding what your missionary's life is like can help you develop empathy and know how to pray. A new book provides an engaging inside look at the lives of women on the mission field. Through Her Eyes, by Marti Smith (Authentic Media), shares the personal experiences of women living and ministering in the Muslim world. The book shares the stories of two dozen women--some single, some married--as they reveal the nuances of their everyday lives as missionaries overseas: dealing with loneliness, learning a new language, helping children adjust to the new culture, maintaining healthy marriages, and balancing ministry and family roles.
